  • In Brief: Collective Aid Calais - Clara and Maya
    Nov 30 2020

    Join us to check in on the refugee situation in Northern France in the chaos of 2020. Maya and Clara tell us all about their work distributing non-food-items with Collective Aid, and how coronavirus and the shifting political landscape has affected this work.

    “In the first lockdown, police brutality went up so much, the police were using it as an excuse to be more violent here... The states response is all kinds of bad really... It’s pretty unbelievable the lengths that they will go to make things difficult"

    “When the state charity that normally provides water decides not to turn up, people aren’t able to wash their hands”

    Listen in to see how the indomitable people and organisations on the ground in Calais and Dunkirk have adapted to continue their work saving lives and supporting some of the worlds most vulnerable people, all whilst combating the danger of Covid-19. Maya and Clara share the story of their 2020, the challenges they're confronting, and how they themselves are coping.

  • In Depth: Dystopias
    May 21 2020

    Season 2 has arrived! In these strange and uncertain times we’ve found ourselves turning to the alternate realities and projections of our future through Dystopian fiction. How can we frame our existence by examining the hypothetical extremes in which our world could go? Should we be afraid or is there hope? We’ve brought PhD candidate Kate in as a guest to discuss the influences of Dystopia and Utopia upon activist movements in the modern world. Together, we look at the ideas explored by writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, Octavia Butler and Margaret Atwood.
